How to boot from disk?

heya, i'm brand new to knoppix (about 2 hours new XD)

i have knopix installed on my laptop, now how do i change the boot sequence so that cd boots first? (i have a knoppix disk, a program, which needs to be booted from disk, but i cant figure out how to do it)

also if you could list it in a step by step, or picture guide that'd be great

Okay... I think I know what you're getting at. I've not actually tried it like that before, but you should be able to mount the cd-rom from within qemu to access the Knoppix CD. This link may be of some help.

hmm, but even mounting it, i wouldn't be able to use the disk, as the only way to work it is that it has to be booted from startup, rather than played like a mounted disk. I just need to know how to boot from disk at startup. As you have mentioned, f8 or f10, that would be normal if it was installed (and in which case i wouldn't be hear asking the knowledgeable people)
